CG VLibrary: Gateway to Global Agricultural Knowledge

The ever-increasing use of the Internet with its wide application as a means of delivering information, along with the growing quantity of electronic texts available, present challenges in ensuring that end users are able to access pertinent information in a simple, direct and effective way. The emphasis in the CGIAR on cross-institutional research and the development of Challenge programs have made the CGIAR libraries more dependent on cross-cutting research initiatives, through which relevant information may be found. Being able to search across the entire range of bibliographic information products, including those from the CGIAR System itself, is necessary to facilitate the evolution of the CGIAR from a Center-based system to a distributed operation. In realizing this vision, the the ICT-KM Program of the CGIAR, in collaboration with all CG Centre Libraries, promotes and suportes CG VLibrary. The CG VLibrary integrates access to library and information resources, both within and outside the CGIAR, through an integrated, standards-based searching of bibliographic databases using a common-user interface, standard protocols and easy linkage to full text documents.

The CG VLibrary offers a CGIAR web-based virtual library, where researchers at any location and at any time will have easy networked access to a variety of electronic library services. This will provide one-stop shopping for identifying, locating and using a variety of high quality information resources, such as full text documents, bibliographic databases, online reference tools, citation indexes and document delivery services. Researchers can have an integrated one-search access to all CGIAR information materials as described in the CGIAR library catalogs. Moreover, CGIAR researchers have desktop access to the wide range of information available over the Internet on free, commercial and licensed sites in the area of agricultural science.

The CG VLibrary can be accessed either from the CgxChange site, http://www.cgxchange.org or directly from the URL http://vlibrary.cgiar.org

Access the information resources of all the libraries across the CGIAR with just one search interface (Figure 1) – reaching across multiple bibliographic databases, including those of commercial providers.

Figure 1: CGVLibrary Quick Search

Before you conduct a search, you will have to select a category (e.g. CGCommodityLibraries) or a group of categories ( e.g. Genetic Resources, Rice-Scientific). QuickSearch – lets you do a search on term or terms entered in the search frame and show you the metadata from the selected category(ies).

Click on the item such as 'Find Database' in the menu bar and conduct a search on the selected database. Do try out this package and find out what resources are available in your areas of interest within CG system, and worldwide.

Literature Search Services

The Library, on requests from its users, carried out comprehensive as well as problem oriented literature searches in our databases and generated search outputs for the following titles:

Take a look at these sites

African Drought Risk and Development Network
This web site, developed by the United Nations Development Programme Drylands Development Center and the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction Africa, is designed as a resource for drought reduction in Africa and includes discussion, lessons, and resources for planners, journalists, students, and others interested in drought and drylands issues.
http://www.unisdrafrica.org/droughtnet/

Agricultural Biotechnology
This Web site is brought to you by a group of U.S. agricultural schools, known as land grant colleges and universities. Their goal is to make information on agricultural biotechnology available to the public and to participate in the dialogue about the benefits and risks of this new technology, which fast is becoming a part of our everyday lives. As teaching, research and extension institutions, they are convinced that some products developed through biotechnology can provide benefits to our food system and the environment. Furthermore, they believe that the risks and benefits of any technology, including biotechnology, should be evaluated through research. http://agribiotech.info/AboutUs.htm

ArgosBiotech
Over the past few years there was a tremendous increase in bioscientific information on the world wide web and it continues to grow at staggering rates. As an information-driven internet platform for the life sciences community, ArgosBiotech is focusing on all aspects and areas of modern biotechnology and related fields. ArgosBiotech.de acts as a gateway to worldwide biotech which opens up resources to the best freely available biotechnology information. http://www.argosbiotech.de/

Dictionary of Everything
It contains over 1 million terms. It covers arts and entertainment, biographies, business, design, health, recreation, science, society, technology, and World geography. http://www.dictionaryofeverything.com/

SOSIG : Social Science Information Gateway
The Social Science Information Gateway (SOSIG)aims to provide a trusted source of selected, high quality Internet information for researchers and practitioners in the social sciences, business and law. It is part of the UK Resource Discovery Network. One of the key features of SOSIG is the Internet Catalogue, a database of thousands of Internet resources, hand-picked and described by subject experts. The catalogue is browsable or searchable by subject area. SOSIG also offers a Social Science Search Engine, a database of over200,000 Social Science Web pages collected by software called a 'harvester' (similar mechanisms may be referred to as 'robots' or 'Web crawlers'). All the pages collected stem from the main Internet Catalogue. SOSIG has a 'people oriented' section, the Social Science Grapevine, offering details of relevant training and development opportunities, social science departments, researchers' CVs and research profiles (Likeminds). All sections can be browsed by subject or searched. Users can also tailor SOSIG services by using the free 'My Account' feature. Registered My Account users can publish information through the Social Science Grapevine, sign up to receive email updates on new additions to SOSIG and view relevant news channels. The SOSIG team also provides training and support, including workshops and Roadshows throughout the UK. http://www.ilrt.bris.ac.uk/projects/project?search=SOSIG
